Oscar Niemeyer buildings around the world

Oscar Niemeyer, the prolific Brazilian architect, created more than 500 buildings in his lifetime. His distinctive buildings can be seen throughout Brazil and in various cities throughout the world, but his work is most commonly encountered in Brasilia, the planned city that was built in the mid-1950s and inaugurated as Brazil's capital in 1960. Shown here, the National Congress is one of its many landmark buildings.
